Bernadette is a young waitress in a Parisian restaurant.  Bored with her routine job, she takes the advice of one of her one-night stands to leave for Los Angeles and find work in a trendy bar.  When she arrives in L.A., Bernadette is surprised to find that the bar doesn't exist.  She meets a man called Ben and gets a job in a café, where she enjoys a close friendship with her boss, Liza.
